The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has approved Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ (CNL) application to renew the operating license for its Chalk River campus.
The new license is good until 2028.
CNL has come under fire in recent months by opponents who charge that the organization is not doing enough to safeguard the facility’s nuclear waste.
The approval was granted after a three-day hearing in Pembroke where local residents and Indigenous representatives raised concerns about the organization’s environmental and safety precautions.
